Crasher - Tumblr Posts

I made bracelets today :D

I got a new notebook today, and boy do I have some scribbles to share! :D

Hehehehehehe

I drew the six main Gobots as various neurodivergent creatures :]

I may have gotten a bit fixated on drawing these little "marshmallowified" versions of the Gobots today

It started when I was doodling at work and I decided to simplify and squish Cop-tur's proportions down for fun, and then naturally the concept caught on and I wanted to squish down every one of them!

[Initial scribbles under the cut, alongside a whole 'lotta close-ups and an additional unrelated doodle]

The originals, as promised

And now for the close-ups:

These li'l fellas give me so much serotonin, it's ridiculous :]

(Oh yeah! Bonus scribble of Turbo in vehicle mode)

(I was gonna draw some other guys in, but I quickly realised I wasn't that confident with ink so I improvised a background)

Here, have a recent batch of these goofy li'l marshmallowified Gobots

New Gobots plush in the works :]

Stay tuned to find out more!

Yippeeeee, I've finally got the Crasher plush underway! :D

So far I've got all the pieces traced (most of them cut), and I've even done a bit of sewing since I took this picture

(I've opted to do a good chunk of the sewing by hand so this may take a while)

Small progress update on the Crasher plush:

Aside from the head compartment lining and the edges of the chest vents, the machine sewing is now done! It's all hand-sewing from here (I've even sewn in the hands and feet since I've taken these photos)

Yippeee!! Look who's finally done! :D

Despite the fact that she's caused me more trouble than I was anticipating (mostly because I needed to re-cut multiple pieces due to the initial proportions being completely and utterly wrong -_-) I'm quite happy with how she came out ^v^

In terms of plush features, you can remove her brain! I decided it would be fun if you could take her brain out because I just generally like the concept of plushies having pockets containing removable organs. I've also decided to put a rattle in the brain! Since I like when plushies rattle but I'd sometimes rather they be quiet, I figured it'd be convenient to make the portion with the rattle removable so that you could have a smaller object to fidget with and have a plushie that doesn't have to make noise all the time.

I think it's also worth mentioning that I put more beans in her hands and feet than I normally would, which is my attempt at giving a subtle nod to her unique seismic-stomp attack.

(Bonus infodump below cut for anyone wondering why I gave a robot a normal-looking brain)

So! For anyone unfamiliar with the Gobots, they aren't actually fully robotic like you may be expecting. In the lore of the show "Challenge Of The Gobots", they were originally organic beings who had to transfer their brains into robotic bodies due to a cataclysmic event as a result of the raging war threatening to wipe them out.

In the episode "Sentinel", we get to see an x-ray shot directly showing the fact that they have organic brains (Screenshots shown below, I apologise for the nightmare fuel)

As for why I decided to only apply the removable brain idea to Crasher... She just kinda seemed the most fitting. And also design wise, it's far easier to hide the zipper on her than it is on anyone else.

[Slight tangent, but Crasher having her brain fill up that much space in her head just can't be good for her. I understand that the artists doing these drawings probably didn't put too much thought into it, but she seems much more at risk of getting a concussion, especially with how many head-on collisions she gets into]

Crasher at the waterfront!

(and some other miscellaneous photos from that same night)

It seems like whenever I'm not doing toy photography, my pictures consist mostly of funky structures and liminal spaces

I've done some more scribbling today!

Despite the recent slowdown in creative activity, I found a moment to draw some Gobots and Rock Lords while I was sitting on this neat little tree platform I came across during a walk (Which should explain why all the drawings are tree themed, lol)

Additionally, I've got some non-tree themed sketches from last night as well

A bit of context for that weird-lookin' ice cream cone: It's a sculpture by the artist Claes Oldenburg! I was using his works as a model/point of reference in art class a few years ago, but I haven't really been using this particular sketchbook for school things since then so I decided to try drawing over the pictures in an attempt to fight off the artblock

(Bonus under cut: The inspo pic for that final sketch)

I recently started watched GoBots with one of my friends, and my god...Crasher is my favorite! She’s so chaotic and evil, she walked so Starscream could run I swear to god-

So I drew her, per that friend’s request-

And I’m gonna practice drawing her some more
